Steps

Method 1 of 5: Gathering Supplies

1

Stockpile supplies. This is a pretty crucial step, and there are several very specific supplies you will need to locate the stronghold, and to access the end game.

For this tutorial you will need to have at least basic knowledge of the ins and outs of Minecraft.

2

Mine ores. You will need to find at least 5 diamonds, 64 iron, and several stacks of coal. You will need seven diamonds if you want a sword, pickaxe and an enchantment table, and even more if you want armor.

This step could take a very long time.

3

Craft tools and armor. You will need at least 1 diamond sword, 1 diamond pick, 1 full set of iron armor, a bow, arrows, and several stacks of torches.

4

Mine obsidian. You will need it for the Nether portal.

Only diamond picks can mine obsidian.

You can also use obsidian in the crafting of an enchantment table, which can help a lot when fighting the dragon or simply playing the game in general.

5

Gather Enderpearls. Enderpearls can be gathered by killing endermen. Enderpearls have several uses so gather at least 20 of them. Some of their uses are:

Teleportation. Right click with an enderpearl selected to throw the enderpearl, and be teleported to its landing site. This can be quite useful in areas such as ravines, large caves and the Nether.

Eye of Ender ingredient. You use enderpearls to craft ender eyes.

6

Craft Eyes of Ender. These are crucial in helping you locate and unlock the endgame. You can craft an Eye of Ender, by combining blaze powder and an enderpearl in the crafting grid.

This is a shapeless recipe, and the ingredients can be placed anywhere in the crafting grid.

Blaze powder is crafted by dropping a blaze rod anywhere in the crafting grid.

Method 2 of 5: Using Nether Portals

1

Build and light a Nether Portal. This will transport you to the Nether, but you have to light it using flint and Steel.

2

Enter the Nether. Just stand in the portal and wait for it to start loading the Nether.

3

Find a Nether Fortress. A nether fortress is a structure in the nether that contains nether wart (for potions) and a blaze spawner. They can be somewhat hard to find, so this step could take awhile.

4

Kill Blazes and gather Nether Wart. Blazes drop blaze rods, which are needed for potions, and for getting to the endgame. You will need a lot of blaze rods.

Nether Wart is a key ingredient in potions, and it only grows on soulsand, so collect some soulsand, and try farming it in your base. Nether warts can only be found naturally occurring in nether fortresses in two small patches alongside stairs going upwards.

5

Craft a brewing stand. This will let you brew potions, which will help during the final boss fight.

Method 3 of 5: Locating a Stronghold

1

Locate a stronghold. A stronghold is a naturally generated structure that contains valuable loot, and an End Portal frame, which will lead you to the endgame area.

Strongholds are very rare, and spawn at least 500 blocks from spawn, so this step could take awhile.

2

Throw an Eye of Ender. It will fly up and move in the direction of the nearest stronghold.You can throw an Eye of Ender by right clicking "with" and "Eye of Ender."

3

Repeat the previous step until a stronghold is located. You will know you have found a stronghold when the Eye of Ender starts flying towards the ground.

The Eyes are usually destroyed after use, so bring a lot of them.

4

Excavate the stronghold. You will probably have to dig a bit to find the stronghold.

5

Secure the area. The stronghold will be full of mobs, so clear it out and light it up.

Don't dig straight down, as the End Portal frame is suspended directly over a shallow lava pool! If you aren't above the frame itself, you could fall into a deep dark cave and take fall damage, along with a potential attack from various hostile monsters.

Method 4 of 5: Entering the End

1

Locate an End Portal. This is what you will use to get to The End.

2

Activate the Portal. You activate the portal by filling the "frame" with Eyes of Ender.

You place the eye in the frame by right clicking with the eye.

The entire frame has to be filled to activate it.

3

Jump Into The Portal. This will take you to The End.

You will not be harmed by the lava under the portal when you are jumping into an activated portal, but if it is not activated you will likely burn to death and lose all your equipment!

Method 5 of 5: Fighting the Boss

1

Fighting the Boss. The End boss is known as an Enderdragon, and flies around the End. To beat the game, you must kill it.

Watch out for Endermen, they spawn heavily in this dimension.

2

Locate the Dragon. He may take a bit to appear, so take this time to prepare, by sorting your inventory and such.

You may spawn underground. If this is the case, just dig your way out.

3

Destroy the Ender Crystals. These crystals, located atop the obsidian towers in the End, heal the Enderdragon.

You can destroy them with a bow, or a sword, though a bow is easier, and destroying it with a sword creates an explosion that may kill you.

4

Kill the dragon.There are several ways to do this:

You can shoot it, this requires a bow and rather good marksmanship, and a lot of arrows.

Use your sword. This requires that you wait for the dragon to swoop down towards you before hitting it with your sword.

5

Collect the Loot. The Enderdragon drops lots of exp, and opens and exit portal.

6

Jump into the exit portal.

7

Beat the Game! Now you have "beaten Minecraft," you'll spawn in your world's normal spawn after the credits, with all of your gear and a large amount of extra experience levels!

You can go back to the End whenever you want now, provided you can reach the portal. Several valuable things can be found there, such as the Endermen and their valuable Ender Pearls, and the Obsidian and End Stone blocks, which are some of the most blast-resistant blocks in the game that you can use.

Tips

Wear at least a diamond chestplate. When the dragon swoops down to you and hits you, you will not get damaged.

You can use snowballs to destroy the crystals or kill the Blazes.

Try to shoot the Ender Crystals instead of climbing up the towers and hitting them. The crystals explode upon hitting, so caution is advised.

If you bring a piston and lever into the end, it is possible to collect the enderdragon egg sitting atop the exit portal.

If you have good timing, you can damage the dragon by destroying crystals as it flies by. This is a good way to kill the dragon without using too many arrows, as when all the crystals are gone, it will be severely weakened.

It is possible to enchant armor so that you can become fire resistant. This will help you in your fight with the Blazes.

The best thing to fight an Enderdragon with is a bow with power and infinity.

If you're in creative mode, you may create an end portal, follow the portal above however when placing the eye of Enders, leave one empty end portal. To place the last one go inside the portal and place the eye. Good Luck.

Pray for luck. The End is a merciless place. You might spawn in one with a whole load of towers. You might spawn inside the islands and have to dig the End Stone to get out. You might spawn on an obsidian platform above nothingness and easily die. You might even spawn so high, you cannot get down or else you will die. Worst, you might spawn at the edges of the island. The most horrendous deaths occur when you fall off.

Sleep before you jump into the portal..

The Blazes shoot fireballs like turrets. They don't explode.

You can also use them to prevent the dragon from attacking you.

Wear a pumpkin when entering the End. The End is full of Endermen unless you play on Peaceful difficulty. Wearing a pumpkin may obstruct your player's vision, but it will prevent Endermen from turning hostile. If the view is annoying, you can download and install a texture pack which has a different pumpkin texture.

Make sure you walk around the End very warily. If you fall off the edge of the islands, you will fall into the Void and die. Yes, all your items will be gone.

To kill the EnderDragon, you can use a bed to finish the dragon off because the bed's blast radius is a little bigger than TNT. However, when the bed explodes, it will set fire everywhere and you might die if you're standing in the fire.

Warnings

If not wearing a pumpkin, be wary of the infinite Endermen that spawn.

If you do not have a pumpkin, then, don't look into the Enderman's eyes. This will initiate hostile mode.

You may die in the End. (The dimension, not the actual end of the game.)

Do not anger Endermen when at the edge of the End Stone Islands. They will hit you and you will fall - and fail - into the Void.
